UH Mānoa researchers developed 3D-printed ceramic shelters that boost baby coral survival up to 50 times.
Researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa have created low-cost, 3D-printed ceramic shelters with spiral recesses that boost baby coral survival by up to 50 times and increase settlement by 80 times compared to flat surfaces.
Tested in Kāneʻohe Bay, the durable, maintenance-free structures mimic natural reef crevices, offering safe microhabitats during corals’ vulnerable early stage.
Designed for integration into seawalls and artificial reefs, the innovation supports scalable reef restoration, enhances coastal protection, and aids fisheries and cultural heritage in Hawaiʻi and beyond.
